| Abstract | In determining the best practices for successful project management, it is important to give due consideration to the critical success factors (CSF) that have proven effective in past projects. However, the critical success factors that have worked well for one project in a specific industry and within a particular country may differ from those that are most effective on another project in a different industry and/or in another country. The present study focuses on Thailand’s technology industry with the aim of identifying its critical success factors and understanding the mutual relationships that exist between them. To understand these mutual relationships, this study distinguishes between “driving” and “dependent” critical success factors. Qualitative methodologies (e.g. interviews and project analyses) and quantitative methodologies (e.g. interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and multivariate statistics) have been applied to investigate the mutual relationships that exist between these critical success factors. The results show that one critical success factor—“relationship with clients”—stands out from the others in terms of its significance and should consequently receive greater management attention. This research contributes to the body of knowledge in the field of project management by identifying areas of improvement in terms of managing technology product development projects. This study’s results will inform and assist practitioners in managing technology product development projects, which requires fast development and a short time to market. |
